Vodafone UK - IPv6
-
Hi All,
I've recently configured pfSense 2.8 with ipv6 using Vodafone PPPOE.
IP addresses assign correctly, I can ping out via ipv6 on pfsense and also from client machines.
The only thing that isn't working is physically browsing ipv6 websites, they just fail to load even down to forum.netgate.com.
I'll post my config below but any suggestions would be appreciated please because it's driving me crazy.
I've checked firewall rules and outbound NAT and they look correct.

@ashleygavin what websites did you try to reach using IPv6? Quite a lot (big once) are not reachable.
And does DNS for IPv6 work from a client, can you resolve e.g. the IPv6 address of bbc.co.uk?
And I assume you have an allow rule for IPv6 (default for LAN on pfSense is created).

@patient0 Tried this forum forum.netgate.com and it just fails despite being pingable.
As soon as I enable ipv6 it stops netflix/paramount from streaming too.
There are the default catch all NAT and firewall rules to allow out from any ipv6 to WAN
DNS resolution is fine, I included a screenshot of that.

What error do you get if you
wget -6a website?
And you have the two default LAN firewall rules, one for IPv4 and one for IPv6, and only the LAN net? On WAN you won't need any rules for accessing internet. And do you see open states for the (web) connection?NAT would not be a topic for IPv6 in the default config.

@patient0 Given up with it and just disabled ipv6, not getting anywhere with it.
Weirdly it works absolutely fine on my android phone can browse fine, the ipv6 test website confirms everything is fine.
Windows however ipv6 address is assigned, can ping out via ipv6, resolve dns via ipv6 but the ipv6 test websites just say no ipv6 address assigned when I can clearly see it in ipconfig.

@patient0 There are some posts on google relating to pfsense 2.8.0 and ipv6 issues as well as issues with KEA DHCP and ipv6

Google/Android refuse to use DHCPv6 and only use SLAAC to configure IPv6. Maybe that is the difference, in that they not use DHCPv6. In that way you could try disabling DHCPv6 and only use SLAAC to see if that makes a difference.

@patient0 Managed to sort it out, working on windows and android now. Started again and I'm not entirely sure what sorted it but all good.
Thanks for your help.
